The new Ayatollah has doubled down with a message of vengeance in his first public statement, albeit nobody has actually seen him yet and there are claims he's incapacitated. Amid all of this, the fact is that victory for Iran is quite simple; if the regime survives with its autonomy, Iran wins.

Piers Morgan leads the debate with former US Navy Seal Rob O’Neill, Israeli author, journalist and commentator at Haaretz Gideon Levy, Florida Congressman and US Army veteran Rep Cory Mills and Breaking Points co-host and investigative journalist with Drop Site News Ryan Grim.
Piers also speaks with game theorist Professor Xueqin Jiang, whose predictions have sparked a flurry of interest in both his work and his colourful adjacent opinions, and President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Bafel Talabani.
